 Appendix
Color Space According to 
the COLOR SPACE 
Settings
The color space of the camera main signal, recorded by the 
SR-R4 when connected, is S-GAMUT mode. The color 
space of the output signal for the viewfinder and SDI OUT 
connectors is converted to ITU-R BT.709 color space. 
Colorimetry
1. Virtual chromaticity points at S-GAMUT
The virtual color space at S-GAMUT is shown in the above 
chart. The virtual chromaticity points are as follows:
When converting the color space of a video source shot 
with this camera in S-GAMUT mode, use these virtual 
chromaticity points.
These chromaticity points are “virtual” because they do 
not represent the actual, accurate color space but are the 
calculated values for calculation of color space conversion. 
These virtual chromaticity points have been introduced 
because the actual color space cannot be represented as a 
triangle in this colorimetry.
The following equation provides a simple conversion from 
the color space for S-GAMUT to that for conventional 
cameras (HDC-F950, HDW-F900R, etc.):
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(R, G, B): Values after being converted to the color space for 
conventional cameras
Use the following equations to convert from S-GAMUT to 
another color gamut.
Converting to ITU-R.BT709/sRGB
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(R, G, B): RGB values after conversion
Converting to ACES-GAMUT (American Color 
Encoding Space)
• Daylight: 5500K
• Tungsten: 3200K or 4300K
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(R, G, B): RGB values after conversion
Use the following equation to express the S-GAMUT as an 
XYZ color space.
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(X, Y, Z): Values after conversion to XYZ color space
2. Color space for film
